« on: September 10, 2009, 02:16:59 pm »
I am sure abt his question as my teacher had given me this one it is not like the previous one..
Here it starts
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
9.3g of impure Sodium bicarbonate[NaHCO3] was heated and 2.2g of CO2 was formed.
Calculate % purity of NAHCO3
pls hepl!!!

molar mass or CO2 is 12+2*16=44 so 2.2/44=0.05 moles of CO2 so .05 moles of NAHCO3. 1 mol of NaHCO3 weighs 23+1+60=84 and 0.5 moles weighs 0.05*84=4.2g

Purity =4.2/9.3=4.5=45%

a simpler way of diong this is use ratio proportion

44g of CO2 is produced with - 84g of pure NAHCO3

therefore 2.24g of CO2 should be produced with - 84*2/44 * 2.24 = 8.55

8.55 / 9.2 * 100 = 93%

oye it shud be 84*2
the equation for the same is..
2NaHCO3 --> Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O

k..
so acc to u it will be
168/44*2.24=8.55
so purity wud be 8.55/9.3*100=91.96 [app]

Mr of NAHCO3 is 168         Mr of CO2 is 44
Mass of NAHCO3 is 9.3        Mass of Na2CO3 is 5.9    mass of CO2 is 2.24        mass of H2O is 1
                5.9+1+2.24=9.14
        9.14/9.3*100=98.28[app]

i THOUGHT THE EQUATION WOULD BE NaOH3=NaOH+CO2

Which make the ratio 1:1
